## Key points

- Fans see the films as alternate timelines within Paul’s visions.
- A second theory links the opening voice to Leto II.
- Dune: Part Three arrives on 18 December.

## Summary

Fans are sharing theories that connect Denis Villeneuve’s Dune films to Frank Herbert’s novels, including the idea that the films show a different timeline among Paul Atreides’s visions. The speculation offers one way to understand the adaptations’ changes, while adding new interpretations ahead of the third film.

One theory suggests Paul’s visions allow the books and films to coexist as alternate paths, pointing to differences in who kills Baron Harkonnen and to Jamis appearing as Paul’s ally in a vision. Another proposes that the mysterious voice heard at the start of the first film belongs to a far-future descendant, God Emperor Leto II. These remain fan theories; Dune: Part Three is due in cinemas on 18 December, alongside Avengers: Doomsday.
